Adafruit Feather

Now available from Tronixlabs Australia is Adafruit Feather - the new development board system that is thin, light, and lets you fly! Adafruit designed Feather to be a new standard for portable microcontroller cores.

We have the full range of Feather boards, connectors, shields and accessories to bring your miniature projects to reality. Feather boards can be programmed using the familiar Arduino IDE, and there's a Feather to suit you - from the basic 32U4 to models with onboard WiFi, Bluetooth LE, microSD card - plus a powerful ATSAMD21 32-bit version. All of these are listed below!

To make it easy to use for portable projects, Adafruit added a connector for any of our 3.7V Lithium polymer batteries and built in battery charging. You don't need a battery, it will run just fine straight from the micro USB connector.

But, if you do have a battery, you can take it on the go, then plug in the USB to recharge. The Feather will automatically switch over to USB power when its available. The battery is also tied through a divider to an analogue pin, so you can measure and monitor the battery voltage to detect when you need a recharge.

We have the new Feather boards arriving as they are announced from Adafruit, and if you have any questions please email support@tronixlabs.com or ask in the Customer Support Forum.
